If you would like to use the same Wi-Fi Network Name and Password as your Wi-Fi Router, you can sync them using the WPS buttons on the Router and the Extender. As a result, the Wireless Network Extender will take your router’s current Wi-Fi network name and add “–Ext” for the 2.4 Ghz frequency and “–Ext–5G” for the 5 Ghz frequency. The Wi-Fi password for both the 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz Wi-Fi extender networks will be the same as your existing Wi-Fi router.

Step 1 Press the WPS button on the Extender for 10 seconds.Step 2 Press the WPS button on the Wi-Fi Router/Gateway for 2-3 seconds.Step 3 The WPS button will flash red. Wait until the WPS button on the Wireless Network Extender is GREEN. This may take a couple of minutes.

Step1 Get a device and make sure that it is connected to the Wi-Fi Network Extender wirelessly.

If you chose to sync the Wi-Fi settings with your Router, then the Wireless Network Extender should be using the same Wireless Network Name as your Router followed by “-Ext” or “-Ext-5G”. If you did not sync the Wi-Fi settings then you can find the Extender’s Wireless Network Name and Password by looking at the label on the back of the Extender. If you would like to manual change the Extender’s Wireless Network Name and/or Password, please see the in-structions on the other side of this Quick Start Guide.
